Data Governance A Scenario An Insurance company thought it had major problems with their business processes (e.g., seemingly redundant work efforts, long time to close accounting books) They started a Business Process Optimization effort And found out that the problem was with their data and their information environment!!
Data Governance A Scenario The current state was crazy used 10,000 spreadsheets They formed an organization to govern their data and information environment Didn t know they were doing Data Governance
Data Governance A Scenario The governance organization had STRONG support from the very top! CEO CFO Chief Actuary Exec s have to feel the pain need to identify WIFT What s in it for them Paid for business and IT representatives from across the country to meet every other month! Without executive sponsorship data governance is very difficult to do well
Data Governance A Scenario Pain Points - WIFT
Executive & Business Participation is Key Business unit involvement is CRUCIAL IT should be aparticipant but not the driving force (psst data is a business asset ) Without executive sponsorship and business involvement.. High likelihood of being seen as a roadblock to be avoided and navigated around (app developers ) Information silos continue to proliferate.. Decisions have no teeth Nothing really improves
